View From The Top Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 Jeez, I thought you lot were socialists. It is the way of the world, but before whining about whether your getting 2%, 3% or 4% or whining about whether you can get bladdered on a friday night, just spare a thought for the 750,000 people, children and families that will suffer as a result of this recession. Many of these people weren't intelligent enough to qualify being a teacher and had no choice but to work in "expendable" jobs in the private sector - not all of them had the choice. ...so all in all, teachers won't get any sympathy from me (or many others). ..and as I said and will say again, teachers have it cushy. So you assume that teachers aren't impacted by the recession, that wives and husbands aren't losing their jobs? Pathetic, especially in my part of the world. I have a fuc king great life, after leaving a successful career in the private sector to follow a career in the public, after the effect of the last, Tory, recession whilst still running a sucessful buisness as a sideline. I don't whinge or moan, I crack on. Try it yourself sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Bognor Posted 9 October, 2009 Share Posted 9 October, 2009 So you assume that teachers aren't impacted by the recession, that wives and husbands aren't losing their jobs? Pathetic, especially in my part of the world. True, but those married to teachers who have lost their jobs are the lucky ones because at least they have the security of one breadwinner in the family with a guaranteed job (with inflation busting pay rises). I have a fuc king great life, after leaving a successful career in the private sector to follow a career in the public, after the effect of the last, Tory, recession whilst still running a sucessful buisness as a sideline. I don't whinge or moan, I crack on. Try it yourself sometime. Hey, I am happy with my lot. That is why I run my own business - no one can cast me on the scrapheap. It just gets my goat when people who have no right to complain do complain, especially when they should consider themselves lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the socialist teachers, biggest bunch of hypocrites if you ask me. They're only socialist when it suits them and sod everyone else. With that attitude, I can see a few closet tories in the making. jeez Johnny ... take a chill pill! What do you expect anybody to do about it? By declaring it inevitable, nobody is saying it isn't sad. Jobs will be lost in recessions, people will die in wars; that's just the way of the world I'm afraid.
